青山宮八將團-全台最早且唯一的陣頭 - 台北萬華

說也慚愧，雖然從小看到大
但其實我以前也分不清青山宮的八將團
和其他所謂的八家將有什麼不同

但就印象中比較，我知道是不同的
不管是臉譜、步法、法器和氣質都不太一樣

後來才知道這是青山宮獨特的陣頭
從中又分出了艋舺蓮英將，與南部起源的八家將是不一樣的

台北八將陣頭有三種：
霞海城隍廟的「鯤溟八將」、艋舺青山宮的「青山八將」
以及脫胎於青山八將編制的「台疆八將」（艋舺蓮英將）

"林家和團長指出，「青山八將」是有錢也請不到的陣頭，因為「八將團」所有成員一年只
出軍一次，團員們平常各有各的工作，「八將團」也不接受商業性質的演出邀請，因為這
是最古老也最令人驕傲的陣頭，一定要好好保持。"

"「青山八將」的成員主要來自父子、兄弟、親友，大多以地緣與血緣關係來維繫，這種模
式已經有很長一段時間，如果有人有意願想加入「八將團」，林家和團長表示首重的絕對
是人品，但目前沒有招募新人的計畫。"

雖為萬華人，但真的到現在才開始慢慢地探討及瞭解在地歷史
也幸好現在資訊發達，許多史料也能夠保存記錄下來
做口述歷史真的也很不容易，感謝文史工作者的努力！

順便貼一下英文介紹，以後我可以介紹給外國友人了:)

The Beauty of Taipei's Temples
文／Discover Taipei

During January and February, over the Chinese New Year period, great numbers
of local folk go to Taiwan’s temples to ask the gods to bless and protect
them in the year to come. Beyond the famous temples such as Manka Lungshan
Temple, Dalongdong Baoan Temple, and Xingtian Temple, local folk love to
visit many other old temples that are key centers of community worship and
also architectural works of great character. Now is a great time to mingle
with the crowds and visit these unique city attractions.
Bangka’s Venerable Temples, Symbol of the City’s Origins

The original Taiwanese name of the area known today in Mandarin as Wanhua (萬
華) is Bangka. This is present-day Taipei’s original place of settlement.
During the Qing dynasty immigrants from China settled here, transplanting
religious beliefs and icons from their home areas. Many district temples are
thus centuries old, and the queen of the cluster is Manka Lungshan Temple,
today still a vibrant place of worship, and a well-known international
tourist attraction.

Manka Qingshan Temple (艋舺青山宮), established in 1856, is another temple in
Wanhua with a pedigree that puts it in a similar league. It is said that in
1854 a plague broke out in what was then called Bangka, and local fishermen
who had emigrated from China’s Huian (惠安) area in Fujian province (福建省)
went home and then brought back to Taiwan an icon from the Quanzhou Qingshan
Temple (泉州青山宮). Local plague sufferers who prayed to the King of
Qingshan (青山王) were returned to health and peace. The original Qingshan
Temple was built on today’s Xiyuan Road (西園路), but an ever increasing
number of worshipers led to a decision to rebuild the temple on today’s
Guiyang Street (貴陽街); the present temple was completed in 1859. With a
facade just off the busy street in front, it is laid out in the form of a
street house. The vivid, awe-inspiring door gods are in traditional Huianxi
style, and the stone lions in front were carved from granite and bluestone in
1938, during the Japanese era, in classic, meticulous Japanese style.

The large-scale King of Qingshan Festival (青山王祭) is held each year from
the 20th to 23rd day of the 10th lunar month, and is commonly called “Great
Bangka Sacrificial Ceremony” (艋舺大拜拜). It is one of Taipei’s three
biggest annual temple fairs, and is a key annual event for the local
community. During this year’s four-day celebration, there will be a King of
Qingshan night-inspection procession on each of the first two nights, one
through southern and one through northern Wanhua. The procession is
customarily called an anfang (暗訪) or “night visit.” On the third day is
the festival’s main event, the “Greeting the King of Qingshan” (迎青山王)
raojing (遶境) or “tour of inspection,” with zhentou (陣頭) or “
battle-array” performance troupes from all Wanhua temples, large and small,
participating. The entire Wanhua district is filled with believers, and there
is great noise and commotion. On the 4th day, the King of Qingshan’s
birthday, anniversary rites and celebrations of colorful grandeur are staged.
Recognizing the temple’s historical and cultural importance, the Ministry of
the Interior (內政部) declared it a Historical Relic of the Third Rank in
1985, and in 2010 the Bureau of Cultural Heritage, Ministry of Culture (文化部
文化資產局), placed the anfang and raojing on the country’s list of Folk
Customs and Related Cultural Artifacts of official cultural heritage.
